This is the first Easypeasy garden I did last spring.
It was quite a challenge but I needed to get one under my belt. So with the plot measured and planned out our work began with the heavy task of clearing the allocated space, old crumbling brick paths and sad old shrubs were dug, pulled and coaxed from the heavy clay soil. Having no upper body strength whatsover this was not an easy day-let's just say I couldn't even speak that evening!
The raised beds were then built and put in place, paths laid and gorgeous soil tipped in.
It's time for the fun bit, there's just something about planting a seed and watching it grow into something tasty that makes me happy.
Just a few weeks later and it's like a miracle has happened-things are sprouting and sending out shoots. What could be more satisfying than popping out to the vegetable patch, picking a few ripe tomatoes,courgettes maybe a handful of basil and knocking up a salad that is still warm from the sun. No nasty cold tasteless stuff out of the fridge.
Joy,joy,joy

Hi Jude, absolutely... you can grow anything from runner beans to carrots in pots. The only down side is keeping them well watered in the summer. Just make sure you have deep pots, decent soil and a sheltered but sunny position. The best way is to just have a go! Cheers janex

ReplyDeleteThis is a quote from Neil about his vegetable garden(see above pics):
